5 SYSTEM OPERATION
ThruScan
is extremely easy to operate however; the unit must be used in a proper
way to ensure right detection & screening.
The operator (Security Guard-the person responsible for
ThruScan
) must follow the supervisor’s
instructions regarding the use of
WTMD
with necessary response to the alarms.
The operator’s continuous responsibility is to ensure that
ThruScan
always operate according to
the information displayed on the LCD and thus to determine the cause of any alarm.
The operator should ensure that the:
•
ThruScan
is always operating properly,
•
Program and sensitivity settings are correctly made,
•
LED VU display shows minimal interference(environment electromagnetic noise),
•
Pacing is performed when Green (READY) pacing lights are on,
•
Operation is realized according to the instructions.
5.1 NORMAL OPERATING MODE
As stated below operating and using
ThruScan
is extremely easy.
Using the MENU, as stated in Section 4 is very easy for the user;
1.
Turn your
ThruScan
on by pressing the
ON-OFF
button from the Control Panel ensure that
it has been properly programmed and set up as in section 4 above,
2.
Carry out routine functional test (see Section 5.2),
3.
If the daily traffic count is to be reset follow 4.1.6 above,
4.
Ensure persons only enter the gate way when the green pacing lights are illuminated,
5.
Finally if an alarm is generated refer to section 5.3 below.
5.2 ROUTINE TESTS
ThruScan
should be tested daily before use and in addition at any time the unit is moved or
against to the environmental changes.
The actual tests undertaken should be carried out to suit the operational requirements of the user,
an example is as follows;
1.
Switch on
ThruScan
( Press ON-OFF Button),
2.
Check the correct Security Level is selected for the required operational risk (see section
4.1.1),
3.
A ‘clean tester’ i.e. a person who has no metal objects on, should walk through the gateway
to ensure that no alarm condition is activated. This procedure should be repeated at least 3
times at varying speeds ranging from 0.5 mt/sec. to approximately 1.5 mt/sec.,
4.
The ‘clean tester’ should then carry out a series of tests by passing through the gateway
carrying a sample or similar of a target or forbidden item to ensure the item is detected and
the correct alarm condition is generated. This procedure should be repeated several times
with the target item held at different locations on the body e.g. high, middle, low, left, right
& centre etc. On each occasion the target item should be detected and the location
indicated upon both the Graphic Display Panel (see section 3.1.2) and with the Zone-Lights
on side panels, (see section 3.4),
